On Sunday, at 10 a.m., a car rally has been scheduled starting from Jim's Fina on Liberty St. South.

Ceeada Jaycees 1,100 Strong Keep îBusy in Central Region Extending from Cobourg in the east to Oakville in West and from Lake Ontario to Timmins in the north, the Central Region is responsible for 1100 of Canada's 5000-plus Jaycees in 27 communities. Of the eight regions in Canada, Central has the highest mem- bership. Young people between the ages of 18 and 39 are united in the pursuit of the aims of Jaycees. Among them, individual development and community involvement. In fact, the first aim is the one that typifies the Jaycee existence, compared to "service clubs." Jaycee units in the Central Region, do, however, provide many benefits to their communities. Witness projects such as Bowmanville Week, Oakville's Santa Claus Parade, Bramalea's purchase of a bus for the school for the mentally retarded or Barrie and Brampton's vita parcours exercise parks. The desire of young people to benefit from these Jaycee programs is seen in the involvement of some 300 new people each calendar year - proof of their willingness to work in and for their cities and towns. During 1977 and 1978, the Central Region was pleased to host an International Vice President from Korea and our newest world president, Carl Peterson from Guam. Both of these leaders among our 525,000 members were pleased with the commitment of our young people. The Bowmanville Jaycees, in their few years of existence, have shown themselves to be an asset to our organization and their community. Serving collectively, and as individuals, they have developed and used those skills necessary to place their members at the level of "leaders" of people. We have been, and remain, proud of them.
